Having originally surfaced on Creme Organization back in 2002, Luke Eargoggle and Ronnie Johansson s Monkeyshop project is an intermittent treat that offers the best of warm synth-led electronic disco. On their second outing for Ali Renault s Vivod label (after the excellent Escape From The Mental Zoo EP in 2014) the pair bring yet more of that addictive, utopian dance magic on this new record. -Island Of Love- is indeed a romantic club burner with smatterings of vintage synth pop in its bones, while -Heartbreak- takes a more overtly Italo direction and sounds just as strong with it. Obergman then takes -Island Of Love- to task with a respectful remix that shines a few different synth lines and beat patterns through the same fuzzy prism.
